Perfect Friend
Even the manager of the airlines can’t get a ticket for his daughter to come home for Christmas on a last minute call. So i couldn’t get a small little seat for myself to go home for Christmas. i didnt really mind sitting in the cabin or with the pilot. Instead, she’s stuck in Kuala Lumpur. The city of the depression for a girl away from home (maybe prosperity burger from McD will cheer her up, jolly joyful burger instead?). I was really sad that i couldnt get back to celebrate Christmas with my family.
My mom called up a few days before saying that my sister just bought a Christmas Tree and going to put it up and decorate it. I was happy to hear that because the last time we had a Christmas Tree in our house is when i was 11 years old. Its been 7 years! No Present under a decorated tree. No just any tree. Its Christmas Tree we’re talking about! Only once in a year sort of thing. Its special. Christmas is a time to spend with close people that you love & care. Family. Me, "The Girl Away From Home" has all the posibilities to be apart from family physically and likely to bury my head in the darkest hole i can find to cry and fill that hole with my tears when i’m sad.
Being away from home is a challege. I find it very interesting. Like Christmas, i spend my whole weekend with a close friend of mine. He is kind enough to spend all his time with me. Entertaining me. Trying to keep me happy and enjoy my Christmas. I didnt do any countdown for Christmas like my sister did with her friends, instead i fell asleep while watching Harry Potter at my friends house. And when i woke up, its past midnight. With my half-asleep face i wished the only person lay next to me "Merry Christmas…" and he was the 1st to wish me back too. And there goes another Christmas just come and go.
Most people hope to spend Christmas with family or their boyfriend/girlfriend. As for me, i dont have a flight back to be with my family. A Boyfriend? Its complicated, but I’m happy with what i have right now. Sometimes its not "boyfriend" that can always make u happy. Its friends that really make you happy. Look back on every momment that you are down, who really cares? Your friends of course. The 1st person the share a shoulder to cry on. Her name can be Charlaine? or His name can be Shen? You know who your friends are.
People try to seek the best in life. Perfectionist. Everything has to be perfect. Even woman wants a man that is Perfect. Picture your Perfect Man. How will he be? The list is so long isnt it? I thought so. But if Perfect Man havent appear yet, just stick to your Perfect Friend. To have a Perfect Friend is very important. Look, perfect doesnt really mean perfect, pls dun get me wrong. Its just a statement of the best of the best.
Perfect friend, is that person you can call your "friend", "sweety", "darling", "monkey", or "hey king kong!" and he or she will give u a funny name or special name too. Perfect Friend is that person that is Always there for you no matter if the the sun rises the wrong side of the world or the rain starts to rain only in your direction. Perfect Friend is that person that support you like your backbone, keep you standing even when you have no strenght to stand on your own feet. The Perfect Friend is the human journal in your life, listens to everything you wanna say but with a good feedback that lightens up your sorrow and filling up more of your happy bottle. The Perfect Friend spend time to be with you when you needed him/her and keep you company when you are lonely. Its a tough job to be a perfect friend, but many are doing just fine.
In my case, ive got many perfect friends. And at the moment, there is a perfect friend that is always there for me. He looks out for me, making sure i’m alright. I’m always glad to have him as my friend cus at the moment, i can talk to just about anything. Sharing our problems, thoughts and hangout. Its a blessing to me that God send such wonderful people in my life.Somehow, love is love, care is care, but there can never be care if love wasnt there.
(Here’s a view, one of the side i stand with my friend. Picture not so clear, but when you’re there… its an amazing view…)
Yesterday, my friend surpose to take me go watch a movie, but we couldnt get into the parking lot for some stupid reason. So in the end, he take me around the city. Taking me to places i have never been before in my life. We went to Tugu Negara , his old high school, St.John Church and the most stunning view of kl… the menara kl… Once i lay my eyes out the window in the highest tower, i was out of words. Just so beautiful. Watching the city lights ..and with him.. the lights seems to be more relaxing.. i Can see everything from up there. Its beautiful..
(We’re at Tugu Negara… its so hot that afternoon! we had coconut drink after dat! i had a great time!)
I had a really great time even it wasnt in the plan. It funny how the unexpected stunned you!!! But it doesnt mean that everything you plan is a disaster, but really… the way i see it… i plan for the unexpected, that way is way more exciting! but of course the plan for the plan is cool too, its sometimes to achieve. But life in general, i go for the unexpected! So here’s what "the girl away from home" has to say.. Appriciate people in your life. Accept things that you cannot change, but change things that you can. And remember, care can never exsist without love.
p/s: Love is not a thing, its a gift.. so give love to people around you.
